What happened between Good Friday and Easter? [GFD5]
https://www.esv.org/Matthew27:62–66

Saturday's 24 hours (when Jesus was in the tomb) was the longest of the three days of experiencing death, because Friday had the long crucifixion before His death in the afternoon. Sunday morning was the empty tomb already.

When Christians are asked, "What happened between Good Friday and Easter?", very few could say much about it.

Matthew mentioned the attempt to seal the tomb to make it more "secure" so that its occupant could not be "misused" by Jesus' disciples to create more trouble.

That the Heavenly Father left His beloved Son in the tomb for a full 24 hours actually spoke volumes:

That death is real. That Jesus' death on the cross was real. That Jesus' humanity was real. He qualified as a sacrifice, and did actually die for humanity. A full Saturday is too long for a resuscitation to be medically possible.

That God's punishment for sin is not a joking virtual matter. Sin has real consequences—death. The seriousness of this was not to be brushed aside in our modern conversations.

The Father was teaching today's believers that whenever we feel that God seemed too silent, or we are at a loss as to what's happening, or why God hasn't "saved" us from a certain situation, we are to look at Jesus' example on Saturday, the day between Good Friday and Easter—God also left Him there.

May you find comfort and obtain valuable takeaways, when you reflect on Jesus in tomb today from Matt 27:62–66, where the Omnipotent God left Him lying there, for a full 24 hours, and more.

*耶稣受难日和复活节之间发生了什么?

星期六的 24 小时(耶稣在坟墓里)是三天中经历死亡最长的一天,因为星期五下午耶稣死前有漫长的受难过程。周日上午已经是空坟了。

当基督徒被问及 "耶稣受难日和复活节之间发生了什么 "时,很少有人能说得清楚。

马太提到,耶稣的反对者试图封住坟墓,使其更加 "安全",以免耶稣的门徒 "滥用 "坟墓制造更多麻烦。

天父将他的爱子留在坟墓里整整 24 小时,这实际上说明了这的重要性:

死亡是真实的。耶稣在十字架上的死是真实的。耶稣的人性是真实的。他有资格成为祭品,并且确实为人类而死。整整一个星期六死亡的时间太长,医学上不可能进行复苏。

上帝对罪的惩罚不是开玩笑的虚拟事件。罪的后果是真实的--死亡。在我们现代人的谈话中,这一点的严重性不容忽视。

天父在教导今天的信徒,每当我们觉得上帝似乎太沉默了,或者我们不知道发生了什么,或者为什么上帝没有从某种情况下 "拯救 "我们时,我们要看看耶稣在星期六的榜样,也就是耶稣受难日和复活节之间的那一天。天父也把耶稣留在坟墓里。

今天,万能的上帝让耶稣在坟墓里躺了整整 24 个小时甚至更多,愿你在反思耶稣在坟墓这事件时,能得到安慰和宝贵的亮光。
